Invincible son

Chapter 996 997 [Outline the beginning of the country]

When leaving the government office, Pei Yue stopped on the long street and turned to stare.

Because the incident happened suddenly, everyone was too late to prepare for Fang Xun's death, so the government office hadn't been released yet, but Pei Yue felt that the mourning cries of Fang Xun's relatives were still ringing in his ears.

Good people and bad people, able ministers and mediocre officials, it is difficult to make a conclusion in one sentence, because human nature is complex and multifaceted, and Pei Yue's two lives naturally understand this truth.Until he stepped into that bedroom, he didn't have a good impression of Fang Xun, but what the other party said before his death shocked him quite a bit.

Even if Fang Xun's actions were based on his obsession to return to the center, if he wanted to persevere in the cruel and dangerous situation last night, he must have the courage and courage to disregard life and death.

Human death is like a lamp being extinguished, but the spark born from the tragic fight will remain in this city for a long time.

Pei Yue sighed softly, and then said to Wei Rui who was beside him: "Master Fang passed away unfortunately, there will definitely be commotion in the city. You personally lead 2000 people to sit in the four cities. As long as there are those who take advantage of the fire to commit crimes and commit serious crimes They will all be beheaded for public display, and the lighter ones will be sent to the mines of Gaotang Mansion to dig coal."

Wei Rui cupped his hands calmly and said, "I'm taking orders from a lowly position."

Pei Yue said again: "In my name, you will inform Deng Zhihuan, the governor of Yunzhou, and ask him to draw up a note. Before the appointment of the new magistrate in the East Mansion, the Tongzhi of this prefecture will temporarily act in charge of the affairs of the Xing'an Mansion. Draft a report on the details of the battle and send it to Kyoto, and hand it over to the West Mansion to submit to His Majesty."

Wei Rui said: "Yes."

Chen Xizhi would say such a thing?

After she left, Pei Yue turned his head to look at Xu Mo carefully, and after a while, he said approvingly: "Good job."

Pei Yue looked into his eyes and asked, "Do you have the confidence to do this for me?"

Xu Mo showed an expression of disbelief.

"The servant girl is just a maidservant, how can she be called a girl?" Nongyu smiled slightly, and came to the table with a soup pot and spoon, and said while filling the soup: "This is the soup that my lady kept. The soup stewed with qi herbs is very beneficial to the young master's health. She said that your behavior last night was admirable, so she specially ordered the maidservant to cook the soup and bring it to you. Please don't refuse, Mr. Xu."

Inside the residence in the west of the city.

Nongyu vaguely felt that Pei Yue seemed to be pointing something, but at this moment his mind was confused, so he could only say obediently: "Yes, Lord Hou."

Pei Yue smiled, and changed the topic: "During the time you came to Northern Xinjiang, did you find anything unusual?"

Pei Yue turned to look at him, and said: "The statistics and pensions of the dead and wounded soldiers and civilians in the city should be done as soon as possible. If the government's money is not enough, you can go to the governor's office of Yunzhou."

Nongyu changed her calmness when facing Xu Mo before, her thin body trembled slightly, obviously she was extremely scared.Because she remembered the old things in Lingzhou, when she was still Lin Shuyue's maid, but she betrayed her backhand.Although she followed Chen Xizhi's orders at the time, she betrayed Pei Yue and Lin Shuyue after all.

Whether it was the grievances back then or the contact after leaving Beijing, Chen Xizhi gave him the impression that he was an extremely cold and heartless person.Even with a smile on her face, there is no softness in her heart.

He paused, and then said, "Xu Mo, I think I made a mistake and shouldn't let you do this kind of surveillance."

Wei Ruidao: "I understand, Lord Hou, how long are we going to stay here?"

Pei Yue seemed extremely patient. Seeing that Xu Default was listening sincerely, he continued: "There are many reasons for the poverty in northern Xinjiang, the most important being the cold climate and backward commerce, but there are resources that ordinary people can't imagine. If we make full use of this advantage, the northern border may not be weaker than the five states in the southern border in the future."

Nongyu was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Hou."

Pei Yue raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, nodded and said, "I know."

"That's because they know that northern Xinjiang is very poor. If they continue to exploit the people, it will inevitably lead to great chaos. Since ancient times, if the people have reached the point where they can't survive, they will definitely rise up. How can those officials who have read countless history books not understand This reason? On the contrary, in the rich and prosperous five states in the south, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes often appear because the local government knows that the people still have food in their homes, so they will not run out of money."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Of course, the problem of the barbarians must be resolved before that. I think you can fully use your abilities to contribute to the prosperity of northern Xinjiang."

Xu Mo looked at the door with some headaches. The two companions had long since disappeared, obviously very unreliable in this regard.

Nongyu smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, this maid has learned to serve people since she was a child. This is not worth doing. How can I let you come by yourself after being injured so badly? Just sit still."

After Xu Mo had drunk most of his drink, Nongyu blinked her bright eyes, lowered her head slightly, and said, "My lady also said that although the situation like last night was because there was no room for escape, Mr. Xu must spare his life and stay safe." Only by being useful can we do more things.”

Everyone thought about it, and then followed.

Meng Longfu bowed and said: "The humble official takes orders!"

Xu Mo said calmly, "Thank you, Miss Nongyu, but I'm not a young master, I'm just someone who works next to the young master. If you don't mind the girl, you can call me by my name."

Now that she came into contact with Xu Mo without authorization and was caught by Pei Yue, how could she remain calm?
Pei Yue said nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, I trust Xu Mo more than you. All right, you go back and tell your lady, I'll go find her later."

Pei Yue walked in and said with a smile, "It's a fart if you look like this, just lie on the bed."

"I...I don't know myself..." Xu Mo seemed hesitant and anxious.

"Very good." Pei Yue smiled gratifiedly, and then said: "There is no rush, I still need to plan in detail, and I have to wait until the barbarians are destroyed. By then, your injuries will have healed, and you can take over." My whole plan."

Xu Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth slowly. After all, the other party was out of kindness, and his speech and behavior were appropriate, so it would be very rude to refuse flatly.

Pei Yue walked towards his mount and said calmly: "We are temporarily stationed in Xing'an City, so there is no rush."

Wei Rui nodded and said, "Master Hou, don't worry, I know what to do."

Xu Mo only showed a simple and honest smile in front of him, but he quickly suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Master, there must be a barbarian's internal response in Jiuli Pass!"

A sharp light flashed in Pei Yue's eyes, and he said, "Longfu, you take two thousand cavalry to Jiuliguan early tomorrow morning. Most of the barbarians have already retreated to the wasteland. You can check the specific situation over there and see if you can gather some routs. , I don’t believe that the barbarians can kill all the garrison troops in Jiuliguan.”

Fortunately, Nongyu didn't act out of line. In fact, the tension in her heart at the moment was also up and down like a drum, but she just suppressed it and didn't show it.

Although she is just a maid, she has seen many worlds in these years, and she will not be stage fright at all when it comes to words—if one ignores her slightly flushed cheeks and slightly nervous demeanor at the moment.

Xu Mo thought he was referring to the changes in the overall situation, thought for a while and said: "I think the government in northern Xinjiang is relatively clean, whether it is Xing'an Mansion or Gaotang Mansion with mines in the east, the folks are not too Lots of complaints."

……

Of course he wouldn't believe it.

Xu Mo shook his head and said, "Young master, I don't know what I can do, I just know how to do the job that the young master asked me to do."

Pei Yue hesitated a little, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "The funeral of Fang Zhifu should be kept simple, but you should find some time to meet his relatives and tell them whether they stay here or return to the capital, I will help them solve it." Worry about the future. If someone bullies them for no reason in the future, they can come directly to the Zhongshan Hou Mansion to find me."

If this sentence is not what Chen Xizhi said, isn't it Nongyu's own opinion?

After a while, Xu Mo made up his mind and said firmly, "Yes!"

For Xu Mo, the flow of time seemed to be extremely slow, and he didn't know whether it was suffering or leisure for a while.

Pei Yue glanced at the soup bowl in her hand, nodded slightly and said, "You have a heart."

Xu Mo was just not used to it, but he wouldn't lose his former agility and intelligence because of Nongyu's existence. After hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but take a serious look at Nongyu.

Nongyu sat by the bed and brought the spoon over gently and meticulously.

The room was burning with a delicate fragrance, and a delicate and delicate figure walked to the wall and pushed the window open, and said cautiously: "Master Xu, the servant girl asked the doctor that opening the window during the day is good for your injury."

Thinking of this, Xu Mo suddenly felt a little uneasy, and tried his best to calmly say: "Nongyu girl—"

The words came to an abrupt end, he turned his head to look at the door, saw the smiling young man, hurriedly got out of bed to salute, and shouted in a hurry: "Master!"

Facing Nongyu who came to the bed and the soup bowl in her hand, Xu Mo showed a rare embarrassment, struggled to get up and said, "Thank you for your kind lady, I will do it myself."

When did Xu Mo experience this kind of situation? He grew up in Green Willow Manor, and when he was a little older, he learned skills from Mr. Xi. Later, after a little experience in Xiangyun, he was selected into Pei Yue's team The most important team.Not to mention being close to women, he has never even been to the Land of Love and Moon, so he can be called a fake young child.

Xu Mo lay on the bed, not thinking about the adventure and heroism of last night, the expression on his face was a little weird, a little embarrassed, and a little embarrassing.

In all fairness, he did not underestimate Nongyu's status. In the final analysis, he was only a domestic servant of the Dingguo Mansion back then, and it was hard to say who was more noble.It's just that he was lucky enough to meet Pei Yue, who not only saved him from being a servant, but also let him learn martial arts and strategy.

Xu Mo felt a fire suddenly rising in his chest, and said solemnly: "Xu Mo will definitely live up to the young master's appreciation and expectations!"

Pei Yue stood up and said, "During this period of recuperation, I will find you a husband who will teach you the art of doing things in business."

gentlemen?

Xu Mo looked dazed, but Pei Yue had drifted away.
